Will we see applications (and distributions) developed by Corel for the Arm and other non-x86 distributions in the near future? Love to get the wordeperfect suite on my netwinder (purchased when it was 'Corel Netwinder' and not rebel.com) Also, what plans do you have for the netwinder and Arm architcture in general in light of your stake in rebel.com?
So, who becomes resident talking head now? Shaver has done quite well for mozilla both within the open source community (he's done some kick ass fud damage control here on slashdot) and to the world at large. And look at his checkin logs from bonsai (which is apparently down for maintenence at the moment). Happy to see that he'll still be involved with mozilla.
I, for one, am grateful that I never saw an erotic depiction or photo image of a breast or vagina before I turned 18. I am the most well adjusted and pious individual as a direct result.
Where's the tower, where's the gun, where's the tower, where's the gun!
P.S. I love getting tagged as flamebait whilst exercising creative expression under a topic such as this. Makes me grateful for eventual meta-moderation, dontchaknow.
A monopoly on key pair authorization is not Orwellian. Orwellian means: "Of, relating to, or evocative of the works of George Orwell, especially the satirical novel 1984, which depicts a futuristic totalitarian state." (dictionary.com) Please do not refer to monopolistic business practices as Orwellian. They are not, and calling them such merely serves to erode the meaning of the term.
This is absolutely evocative of said literature (and I should have said authetication, not authorization, excuse my vocab) - the key pair system exists, I believe, to protect our privacy, and a system in which one body as opposed to several potential ones, may hold the key to our ultimate communication encryption scares me - it is in conflict with notions such as 'choice' or 'free speech' - even if it is ultimately dealing with financial transactions for the most part. This is not a monopoly in your usual sense - this is specific to personal safety, and I don't care for the thought of there being a central authority in that regard. Disagree? That's your right - but it smacks of orwellian to this drooling moron.....
a monopoly on key pair authorization seems orwellian to me. obvious, maybe, but I recently went with thawte for the very reason that they weren't verisign. this sucks, i hope the challenge sticks.
wouldn't it be great if McCain had come out brandish his love of porn? "Much like cigarettes, these children need to wait, or improve their sneaking aroud - with discipline, you too can check out the hun and passwords by jesus - why, my buddy on the other side of the fence, teddy and I disagree on many things, but on this we will not be deterred, porn in the white house and capitol hill have are completely appropriate. the justice dep't, on the other hand..." One can dream, no?
moderate this down, por favor, but I freaking despise people that wave "I told you so" nonsense in the face of people who know what time it is and don't need it, thankyavaymuch. Save it for a yahoo board or whatever, knucklehead.
anyone had the opportunity to see the xerox electronic paper scene up close? what up? will this be a viable, portable, low cost solution? when? alphie?
I think that if the right person or persons made an actual business case to Apple that may change, especially in light of the fact that they're going to have to port it to run over their BSD based MacOS X anyway.
Ahh that is true, and the OSX client is coming down the pipe pretty soo, so they say - maybe we will ending up seeing a quicktime player for Linux in the not too distant future after all.
Can't help ya with on the client side. Maybe Apple doesn't know you want it.
Yeah, that's a good point - maybe they don't. I went to their complaint feedback page and was informed that their feedback database was down for maintenence. Anyone have a good email address to let them know that this is something we'd like to have?
I suppose we'll never get the code on Sorensen from Apple, but can anyone give insight as to why they won't at least port and provide provide, say, a binary of their quick time player/plug in for Linux. That's something I'm getting sick of - having to find a mac or windows box to check out a.mov file... at least I use linuxppc at home so I can just dual boot without having to move my butt.
the first thing that sprung to my mind before i read the article was an image of a shaved headed teenager in a uniform sitting in trembling attention at a terminal while being yelled at by a smokey the bear hat wearing mean guy about how he 'just kill -9'd his buddy' by not recompiling a kernel correctly.
this is the funniest move i've seen them pull yet! what were they thinking?! did anyone here get in on it? what was the procedure like?

The distro is OK. My personal preference is Gnome, so right off the bat i'm non-plussed with 'look and feel'. But what was disappointing to me was that the X configure tool was not groking my video ram and wouldn't display above 800x600.. and this is on a pretty vanilla compaq proliant box with an ATI mach64 card that I use to test out different distros/OS's. I was able to manually edit my settings, but this is contrary to the much trumpeted user friendly-ness of it's install and configuration. Also, network configuration didn't happen during the installation which seems silly. Other than that, though, a nice install, and a distro that shows promise. Anyone else have any weird experiences with getting X how you like it?
This may or may not be an answerable question, but... In 1977 my father and I got one of the orginal Apple II's which had the serial number 0243... would you have still been physically involved in the production of the machines at this point or were you out of the production line loop by then.. just thought it would be cool to know if you 'touched' it - it served us well for years (albeit with many many upgrades and add-ons!). Thank you for everything!

I believe that Opera is going to release a text based web browser for linux. sounds cool nice table and frame layout supposedly. anyone use it yet?
yum yum clone a clone
clone a cone monkeys
i love clone a clone

Now how will a free (and I Do mean free beer) http client bloat Ted Turners wallet? That's absurd.

and speaking of that - what is the license and ownership of the code like since andover has gotten involved?
